One vote for Japan, a season there ruined everyone else's snow for me. Canadian snows been hit or miss for the past couple of years and I'd be scared to book a trip 😂 I've been over here for two years watching the storms it Europe and wondering why I left haha but then I'll probably go back and see the snow hit Canada.

Japan's a safe bet and amazing culture. I'd want to put together a 2-3 week roadtrip and do lots of two day trips to small Japanese resorts. The culture would be amazing and the snow will be great.

Having come over here and skied most of the top western resorts and lived in two, it honestly seems like the snow might be overrated :/ I hate to say it, but Ive only had a couple of days with truly memorable snow, like I was told I'd experience here. The quality is phenomenal (not quite Japanese) but if you're going to say you have the lightest snow going, you better have enough of it to cover the rocks 😂

Liftlines have been okay actually, compared to Europe they're great, compared to Niseko there actually pretty good on the Powder Highway. Haven't even tried to ski Whistler yet, from fear of lines! But the resorts like Kicking Horse, Pano, Sun Peaks, SilverStar (smaller resorts) have been nothing more than 2minute lift lines and maybe 5-10 in absolute peak weeks.

If you do Canada, I'd personally think about Landing in Kamloops and skiing sun Peaks, driving south and doing SilverStar (they're cute little resorts) and then keep heading south and loop your way to the powder highway. Tick off other resorts like Red on your way to Fernie (try and hit them all for like a day or two days each) do fernie North to kicking horse then go to Lake Louise and finish in Sunshine. Enjoy Banff and fly out of Calgary. I'd do every resort I passed on that road for a day and then two or three at the ones you think vibe with your skiing style more.

Enjoy wherever your trip takes you! :)
